Policy, platitudes, and puns: Andy Burnham launches his US invasion on Morning Joe - and even lands a joke or two
He gained new powers in the budget, signed a trade deal with North Carolina, and launched the Beyond The Music festival with New Order at SXSW in Austin. This week, therefore, has been his ‘great American road trip’.
Scarborough was just one quarter of the panel throwing Andy questions. Another one was Mika Brzezinski, his co-host and wife, there to keep the programme to time. There was an off-kilter jibe to Burnham about Everton, and how poorly they’re faring compared to Scarborough’s Liverpool. Then it was Andy’s turn to make a joke which didn’t quite land — about ‘bringing over a little known English band called New Order’ — to an audience that doesn't quite get irony in the way it’s baked into the Northern way of life.
“Our new festival is going to be like SXSW with a Manchester twist on it. I even found out that the second gentlemen of the US is a New Order fan and Manchester United fan — we’ll take that,” he added, a pun better received. Andy was enjoying this now, it seemed. He was a little more at ease, and some colour had returned to his face — which stuck out as a perfectly normal magnolia compared to the sunset orange of his opposite numbers.
